What will it take to get this team clicking? Must the clubhouse manager flip the calandar to June or September and leave it there? I mean what the hell does this team need to play a little bit motivated in April.

I don't get it.

I know they're going to play better eventually. It's just so frustrating watching a team with this much talent seemingly go through the motions like the first 10-20 games don't matter as much as the final 10-20. They do, and you just can't sleepwalk through a game against an improved Washington team. We saw why tonight.Losing Player: Aaron Cook

Cook looks awful. No command of the sinker. Missing his target by feet on a couple occasions. We're just not used to seeing this from Aaron, and it's definitely concerning. This is the guy who once threw a 78 pitch complete game needing 83 to get through 3 innings tonight.

On the flip side of this, the Rockies bullpen has been awesome. They kept the team in the game on Friday night, did a solid job yesterday in Atlanta, and allowed nothing again tonight in Washington. We'd be at looking some really embarrassing boxscores if not for these guys.

Oh, and I will take my hat off to Craig Stammen. His team needed that from him, he needed that for himself, and he went out and pitched a whale of a game.

That's about all there is to say tonight. Would love to see the team get back to .500 tomorrow night instead of waiting for a big winning streak in June.
